Bad Weather Not a Problem for Dedicated Fans

Red Hill, Patrick Henry’s last home and burial place, was host to the Fifth Annual Bluegrass, Barbecue & Brew Festival, held Saturday, November 7 11 a.m.-5 p.m. The rainy Saturday seemed to get off to a slow start, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of crew members and spectators and as the morning progressed into afternoon, the crowd began to pour in.

“This is Red Hill’s only fund-raising event of the year,” said Myra Trent. “We receive no federal or state funding to preserve and interpret Patrick Henry’s Red Hill. We are a non-profit organization. We are preserving Patrick Henry’s legacy, his last home and burial site,” she concluded.

Patrick Henry was Virginia’s first elected governor who served five terms, was one of the Founding Fathers and America’s Patriot. For more information on Red Hill – The Patrick Henry National Memorial visit the website at www.redhill.org .
